Petrobras announced a new gas discovery at the Copoazu-1 exploratory well in Block GUA-OFF-0, located in deep waters offshore Colombia.
The discovery strengthens the region’s gas potential and supports energy security, with the well situated about 36 km from the coast and near previous Sirius-1 and Sirius-2 discoveries. Gas-bearing intervals were confirmed through logging and fluid sampling, including an additional objective beyond the main target, increasing the significance of the find.
Petrobras operates the block with a 44.44% stake through its subsidiary, alongside Ecopetrol, which holds 55.56%. The discovery aligns with Petrobras’ strategy to expand reserves through new exploration frontiers and partnerships during the energy transition.
